Yesterday a children’s author visited us. Adrian Townsend has written 7
books so far, the most popular is Gran's Gang.
He lives in Oxford and has to travel
to different schools to talk to children on how to stick at reading because
people who read are more successful in life! He also taught us how to be a writer. He gave us tips: 1) choose a place to write where you will feel comfortable and calm, 2) have a nice pen, and 3) have a good notebook to write in. Adrian told us to look at things and then think 'what if?' For example he saw a gang of boys and thought what if they were a gang of grannies.
He also mentioned about following
your dreams, because when he was little
he wanted to be a writer and look at him now, he is not just any random person who
writes stories he is actually a published author. It takes him 2 to 3 months to
write one book.
He also writes scripts for plays
(for adults). He would usually write a bit of a book one week and then do a script
the next. He has written roughly 10 plays.
